Except as otherwise provided in individual TLIs (Rate
Items) named in this Tariff, Shipper MUST furnish, or
arrange for the preparation of, all documentation and
information required to export cargo from country of
origin, to import cargo into country of destination, and
to transport cargo through other countries between origin
and destination.  In addition to all documentation, Shipper
MUST describe cargo in sufficient detail: 1) to permit
Carrier to rate cargo; 2) to successfully comply with all
U.S. Customs prior notification requirements (See Rule
2.8A); and 3) MUST at a minimum comply with the following:
    
a. Description of commodities shall be uniform on all
   copies of the B/L and MUST be in conformity with Customs
   Declaration or Customs Entry and Consular Documents.
   The Carrier shall verify the B/L description with other
   shipping documents to insure accuracy.  Amendments or
   corrections in the commodity description will be
   accepted ONLY if supported by U.S. Customs Declaration,
   Customs Entry, Consular Documents and other shipping
   documents.
    
b. Trade and Commercial Product names are NOT acceptable
   commodity descriptions.  Shippers are required to
   declare their commodities by their generally accepted
   generic or common name.
     
c. Unless otherwise specified, the value of cargo, which is
   to be rated in accordance with a specific value-scale
   provided in this Tariff, will be determined on the basis
   of the value and net weight as declared in a validated
   Customs Declaration, Customs Entry and/or Consular
   Documents.  Where there is a discrepancy between such
   documents, the highest declaration shall be used to
   calculate freight and additional charges.
